S8: Results of full models describing the relationships between densities of Araneae, Coleoptera, Collembola, Formicidae, Isopoda, Opiliones and Orthoptera with environmental parameters. Shown are t-values and the significance of variables indicated by + P < 0.1, * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001. Tests for significance of explanatory variables were done with ANOVA or, if model assumptions were violated, with non-parametric permutational ANOVA.
